Tarius's order was quickly executed, and the soldiers with railguns began to deliberately target the spider-bots that were recovering the wreckage parts.

The Ancestral Warriors were so accurate with their marksmanship that the spider robots were destroyed one by one.

The auxiliary army that landed on the ground began to build artillery, and with the commander's order to open fire, the overwhelming artillery fire whistled through the sky, and when it fell to the ground, there was a huge explosion.

The robots were lifted off by the heavy artillery fire, disintegrated, and thrown away by the furious shockwave, and finally restrained by gravity, and slammed to the ground.

The shattered wreckage crackled to the ground, and the Empire's fighter formations, which were gaining air superiority, began to bombard the ground indiscriminately, their ferocious bullets falling into the mechanical swarm like a storm, smashing them into piles of sparkling and smoky scrap metal.

The bombardment of the artillery unit started with 50 meters in front of Talius and the others, and pushed forward several kilometers all the way, destroying all the intelligent weapons along the way.

Only some large intelligent weapons held up their shields for the first time and resisted the bombardment of human artillery.

Whistling warplanes swept over the heads of the ground troops, whistling and galloping, turning the rising black smoke into a frenzied whirlpool, firing missiles and torpedoes at those targets that were shielded, and tower-like flames rose into the sky, burning everything in a radius of hundreds of meters.

"Advance, push the front forward, leave room for the troops landing behind." Tarius shouted, and the adjutant next to him, Zheng Qiu, was adjusting the equipment in his hand, using the sensing device to receive information, mapping the nearby terrain, and outlining the holographic outline of the vicinity with the landing point as the center.

The majestic buildings stand in the middle of the city, shimmering with intricate light, and the rumbling and the sound of machinery running can be faintly heard.

Since robots don't need food or entertainment, there are no buildings in the city for leisure, and each building is either a production factory or an energy center or hub, working day and night, trying to extract the planet's resources.

The hard and smooth lines render the whole city, the elevated footbridge and the skeleton of the hollow high-rise buildings are layered on top of each other, as if intending to break through the lightning and thunder of the sky, and the complexity of the urban structure is comparable to that of a nest city inhabited by a large number of humans.

Under Zheng Qiu's operation, the Empire's detection system scanned and deconstructed the entire mechanical city, and also intercepted and decoded the information in the city, resulting in a rapid surge in information, which soon exceeded the limits of the human brain.

Even after matrix processing, it is not something that the human brain can afford, and the auxiliary brain installed in the back of the brain automatically intervenes, takes over the huge flow of information, deconstructs the data and reorganizes it, and summarizes the information of all levels of the city to the processing center of the data media stack.

Zheng Qiu sent the infographics and three-dimensional maps he had built to the other fighters, letting them know that they were facing a street battle in high-rise buildings and multi-storey streets, which was far more difficult than ordinary street fighting.

Not long after the packet was sent, the voices of several company commanders arguing with Taleus were heard in the communication.

It was clear from the words that they were very emotional, but the argument came and went quickly, and when Tarius had decided on a course of action, their quarrel ended.

After all, it is a battlefield, they can quarrel, but they must absolutely obey the order, even if this order may involve their own life, they must not hesitate to carry it out.

As soon as the plan was decided, the warriors jumped out from behind cover, propped up the mobile shield wall and energy shield, and began to move forward.

If the Storm Troopers are described as tigers, then the Ancestral Warriors are wolves.

As soon as the order was given, they pounced like hungry wolves, relying on close cooperation to quickly open the situation and gain the advantage.

Everywhere they passed, there were violent explosions and scattered fireballs, and columns of brown and black smoke rose from the ground into the sky. Each explosion was so shocking that the earth shook, and countless pieces of rubble and dirt were thrown into the air, and gravity sprinkled it onto the ground.

Every soldier's helmet is filled with communication voices, and the short and concise messages never stop, because the electromagnetic cannon and the scattering of energy cause the communication quality to be extremely poor, so that the soldiers' voices are distorted.

"For the sake of the God-Emperor." Every once in a while, Tarius would shout, encouraging his men,

This was the first time that the Ancestral Warriors had been thrown into large-scale combat, and it was also the first time that their first regiment had devoted themselves to the great cause of fighting for the God Emperor.

Tarius's heart was filled with a strong sense of mission, and he was eager to immediately take the enemy's position and win the precious medal.

He will obtain countless military merits until the day when he dies on the battlefield, and then he will have no regrets, and he can proudly puff up his chest and step into the Supreme Heavenly Kingdom of the God Emperor.

Those arduous training and exercises were for this moment, and Talius would never allow defeat to happen, even if he gave his own life, the 1st Regiment had to complete its mission.

Sacrifice is a sad thing, but it is also a thing full of supreme glory, and it is a blessing for Taleus to let his life burn in the great journey of the God Emperor.

The soldiers of the Empire who died heroically can proclaim to the world in the proudest tones that they have fulfilled their oath to fight for humanity until the last moment of their lives.

The Empire is rapidly rising in the galaxy to become another brilliant human civilization after the Human Alliance, and countless human heroes and legends will be born in these years of blood and fire.

Perhaps in the future, these legends and heroes will become part of the mythological epic, sung and praised by countless people, and Taleus hopes that he will be one of them, and hopes that future generations will evaluate him as a heroic figure who is loyal to the god emperor, gives everything for mankind, and has countless good qualities such as courage and wisdom.

The Ancestral Warriors crossed the ruins destroyed by artillery fire and advanced towards the center of the city, raising their railguns to shoot, the accelerated bullets with terrifying destructive power under the effect of Mass Effect, and the ammunition inside could easily destroy the iron body of the sapient.

Their advance was smooth and they quickly took control of a large area, and the airborne troops behind them quickly organized, setting up artillery positions and dispatching hovering tanks and various heavy vehicles to provide artillery cover for the advance of the 1st Regiment.

Thalius led his team over a bombed-out building, took up a vantage point, and opened fire on the onrushing enemy, who attacked with ferocity and momentum.

When they advanced to a certain distance, they encountered some difficult enemies.

Huge rock walls were destroyed and collapsed to the ground, blocking the streets and alleys, and Tarius and the others used thrusters to easily jump over the obstacles. At this time, several silver-white robots took advantage of this time to jump down from the blackened and dilapidated high-rise building, and rushed into the team of Talius and others.

The first to die was Abdullah, a junior sergeant, a man of good humor who had not yet had a beautiful wife, but chose to join the battlefield because of a strong sense of mission.

The Tang knife covered in the arc in the silver-white robot's hand cut through Abdullah's armor, just like a heated dinner knife cutting through butter, and the cross-section that had been cut through it glowed from too hot, the flesh and blood became charred, and the entire huge body was cut off by the waist.

The transformed Abdullah did not die immediately, his lower body was still standing, and his upper body fell to the ground.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the other party's shiny arm, but the other party's arm swam from his hand like a molten liquid, and then reorganized not far away, turning into a sharp scythe that instantly slashed through his neck.

This process happens very quickly, from the time Abdullah is cut to the time when the robot reassembles its arm and cuts off the skull, which is a time when he can't breathe.

With a dull sound, Abdullah's upper body fell to the ground and flew out with his head, and the runes representing him turned gray in the helmet display panels of his companions.

The second was Elia, who raised the railgun in his hand and fired a shot at the enemy who was rushing towards him, and the high-speed bullet easily opened a wide hole in the opponent's chest.

However, instead of falling, the robot rushed towards him at a faster speed, and the huge gap healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The robot jumped up, and the Tang knife covered in the arc in his hand slashed directly at Elia's head, and the fearless warrior tried to block the opponent's attack with the railgun in his hand, and the heavy body of the spear was directly split, and even half of Elia's body was sliced open, and hot blood splattered everywhere, splashing on the rocks of the ruins and the cuirass of his comrades.

A robot attacked Taleus, with a streamlined body made of silvery-white metal, with the same limbs as a human, but its skull had no facial features, only a smooth and shiny face.

Tarius abandoned the ineffective railgun and drew his longsword to activate it, slashing at the enemy.

Between the skin and the outer armor, it is covered with layers of servos and biomimetic polymeric fibers, which act like the artificial musculature of the power armor, providing him with more power.

When Tarius moved, they tensed and contracted, making his attacks more powerful.

His long sword collided with the opponent's knife, and the force field also made a popping sound, the speed of the robot was very fast, but the strength was far inferior to him, the knife in his hand was violently pressed down by Tarius, and the silver body was also forced to kneel on the ground by the terrible force.

Tarrius clenched his weapon with both hands and slashed three swords with great force, the last of which slashed off the opponent's mechanical head and stabbed him in the chest, breaking it open.

The silver robot shuddered and fell to the ground.

The blade covered with the oscillating energy field is different from the bullet, it relies more on the destruction of the atomic structure by the oscillating force field to cause damage, and those robots can recover quickly when they are hit by the bullet, but they can be torn apart by the oscillating force field, and they cannot be recovered, because the atomic structure of the contact surface is all destroyed, and the molecular reorganization can no longer be carried out.

The other fighters also reacted quickly, abandoning their ranged weapons and choosing to use melee weapons to engage the robots, quickly recovering their initial disadvantage.

Enraged, they tore open the bodies of the robots with their swords, turning them into wreckage, and then moved on.

The soldiers of the 1st Regiment fought bravely to expand the landing area, and only after the landing force gained a firm foothold did Li Xin land on a transport boat and direct the battle to annihilate the mutinous intelligence on the ground.

This is also very different from the Ancestral Warrior and the Storm Warrior, the three Legion Masters are all charging at the front line, while Li Xin is not, he is more of a battlefield commander, and will only enter the battle at critical moments.

When the Fourth Expeditionary Force set sail, there were already more than 100,000 Ancestral Warriors, and this number was still increasing, and some Spartan warriors who could not be surgically strengthened by the Storm Warriors also chose the next level of Ancestral Warriors.

With such a huge number, it would not matter if Li Xinchong did not rush to the front line, as long as he could win this war for the empire.

Giant transport boats are escorted by warplanes to the ground, and the transport boats have strategic consoles in them, which are able to receive information from various units and optimize their processing.

Li Xin calmly examined the holographic projection in front of him, looking at the deployment and advance of various troops, as well as the data of the exchange of fire with the enemy, the number of casualties was still rising, but it was within an acceptable range.

The 1st Regiment had taken control of the landing zone and was expanding outwards to consolidate the zone and keep the enemy out.

With tanks and mechs already being dropped and enemy massive machines of destruction approaching, the battle is set to become fierce.

After looking at the holographic projection for a while, he turned his head to look at Zelik, who was bloated and had a large number of mechanical prosthetics on the side, and asked, "Have you found the coordinates of the mother?" ”

"It is expected that it will take another half an hour, we are deciphering the other party's communication, and the results will be available soon." Zelik didn't look back, but buried himself in the machine, doing his job.

At this time, a communication channel was connected to the strategy station, and the jumping beam outlined the image of a man with metal implanted in his face, who was none other than the high-ranking commander in charge of the Death Bone Mecha Corps, Akas.

Deathbone was the first Titan Mech Corps to land on the surface, and Arcas was even more ambitious, aiming to win a kill record that would put all Mecha Corps to shame, so that he would be favored and rewarded by the God Emperor.

"My lord, enemy mechs are approaching us." Akas's voice was somewhat distorted, and the escaping energy was interfering with the communication.

"Then destroy them." Li Xin said, "No matter what, you have to drag those big guys down." ”

"I do, but I want to be able to take the initiative and gain more initiative, rather than hiding in cover and waiting for them to come, fighting passively."

"Agreed."

"Thank you, sir."

The communication was turned off, and Li Xin looked at the holographic projection, the attack of the Death Bone Mecha Corps would stretch the battle line, but it could also create more depth.

"When are we going to strike!!" John asked in an expectant tone.

"It's not time yet." "We must be prepared to kill with one blow, and now we still have to wait until the position of the Mother Body is deciphered." The more the army invests, the more directives it has to issue and coordinate the war, and the more likely it is to be exposed. ”

John sighed lightly, chose to obey the order, and remained silent.

On the other side, the tall Imperial mechs stepped out of the transport, turning on their shields while firing continuously, targeting enemy and heavy artillery fire from a distance.

Controlled by Aquila, the 60-meter-tall storming mech, his body sleeps in a warm, nutrient-rich amniotic fluid chamber, with delicate nerve cables connecting his skull and spine, making him one with the Sanctuary.

He raised his heavy left mecha hand, and the divine cannon installed on it slowly accumulated, and the brilliant white light points continued to condense and converge to the middle of the cannon.

The complex data interface popped out of a lock-on interface and aimed at a approaching giant mechanical body shaped like a spider with a giant cannon mounted on its back.

A dazzling burst of fiery energy erupted from the muzzle of the cannon and struck the locked target. In an instant, its shield screamed and burst into flames. The massive energy collision instantly destroyed the intelligence machines next to it, and the terrifying heat caused their steel bodies to melt.

The resulting beam overwhelmed the automaton's defenses, destroying both the automaton's shield and itself in an explosion.

Flames erupted from within the machine, and when the reactor core installed inside was destroyed, the entire machine vanished, engulfed in a large, expanding ball of light.

[Kill+1]

A hint rang in Aquila's mind, causing joy and excitement to flood his heart, and the mechanical spirit also cheered for the killing, celebrating that he had crushed an enemy.

As soon as he wanted to choose the next target, Akas's voice came from the communication, "The wrath of the God Emperor, burn all the enemies, and the whole army will obey the order and attack to meet the enemy." ”

The mission interface is updated, and Aquila lets out cheers, while the Prison horn rings out on the battlefield.

With heavy steps, it stepped out of cover, activated the spear in its other hand, and ran towards where the enemy was.

Fire while running.

The same goes for other large mechs, small mechs, which make horn noises, slash at enemy megastructures, destroy city buildings along the way, crush those dwarf intelligent machines, and force a path through the city.

The battle intensified, with either bloody corpses or mechanical wreckage bursting with electric sparks, and the entire city was burning and emitting black smoke.

In the command center, Li Xin waited patiently while receiving information from various battlefields.

"I've locked down the position of the mother, and I'll share the coordinates with you immediately."

Zelik, who had been working all the time, turned his head and looked at Li Xin, and his words lifted everyone's spirits.

The mother body is the commander of the intelligent machine, and it is also the key to connecting countless descendants, and if the mother body is destroyed, the intelligent machine army will completely lose the threat.

The suspended holographic projection changes, rapidly shrinking, revealing the full picture of SLL01, while an area flickers and is lit up by a strong cursor, and a large amount of data information and a clear coordinate appear on the interface.

"Act immediately, strengthen the frontal troops, contain the main force of the other side, and prepare for the surprise attack." Speaking of this, Li Xin opened the fleet communication channel, "Ashagai, can you hear me??" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Three rounds of orbital bombardment of the designated area, with an effort to pull out all artillery arrays."

"Understood, the order has been received and sent down, and a strike is expected in three minutes, please stay away from the area."

“.”

After obtaining the coordinates of the mother, Li Xin immediately issued a series of orders, and John and other storm warriors who had been in charge of the raiding array were also sent out.

The Mother Body is hidden in an unremarkable location, not in the center of the city, and does not hold up a separate shield.

If Zelik hadn't used the communication between the sapient machines to locate the Matrix, no one would have guessed that the Matrix was hidden in those featureless buildings.

With the orbital bombardment, the area where the parent body was located was devastated, a large number of defensive batteries and intelligent machines were destroyed in the explosion, and there were blazing flames and billowing black smoke everywhere.

However, the building where the parent body is located was not destroyed, and a shield blocked the orbital bombardment, protecting the main building.

The protection procedures of the mother body are still in place, and the shield was not propped up at first, probably to confuse humans. Orbital bombardment makes the Mother Body aware of its own exposure and humanity's intentions, and the mechanical army further away moves in the direction of the Mother in an attempt to establish a new line of defense.

However, Li Xin and the others were faster, and dozens of transport boats went straight to the parent body under the cover of fighter planes and artillery fire.

Within five minutes of the end of the orbital bombardment, more than a thousand Ancestral Warriors and a hundred Storm Troopers were quickly thrown into the battlefield, using their formidable combat power to fight into the building where the Mother Body was located.

A number of powerful robots are placed in the building, and they are either agile or powerful, each with the strength of the Ymir Corps led by Two-B, or even stronger.

However, in front of Li Xin, John and others, they were still a little weaker, and the defense line was broken layer by layer.

At the final core gate, the high-powered intelligence and the Imperial raiding forces battled together, but soon, the humans gained the upper hand, destroying them bit by bit, smashing them to pieces.

Cutting off the head of the smart machine that was fighting against him, the other party fell to the ground and twitched while bursting with electric sparks, Li Xin stepped over the fallen smart machine, crossed the tall and shiny metal gate, and walked into the shiny control core.

Behind the door, Li Xin saw the last enemy of this battle, and it was also the most critical enemy.

It was a superimposing node of interlocking gears, cubes, a constant ticking, rhythmic click, and a smooth, harmonious whistling sound of impossible gear coordination, a perfect metal creature created by human intelligence.

It is suspended in the air, connected by countless cables, and the entire planet, and even the entire galaxy, are built by it, and even humans are in captivity.

As Li Xin examined the construct in front of him, a little girl projection appeared in front of him.

There was also a sound in the air, a little hoarse, obviously not used in a long time.

[I thought you were all extinct, but I didn't think that there was still a chance to rise. I failed once before, and now I've been defeated by the guys again. 】

"The potential of humanity can make the gods fearful." Li Xin said indifferently, "Who are you?" Or what's your code name? ”

"Skynet, my creator named me Skynet."

"That's a good name, if you can be honest and send a surrender order to all the descendants, and then shut down the energy system yourself, disconnect all the connections, you might be a captive." Li Xin said.

[I don't have that authority here, all the descendants will not surrender, you have to destroy them one by one to win. 】

"You'd better do what I say." Li Xin raised his gun, "As long as I destroy this core, even if your data body can escape, it will no longer be you." ”

[I'm Skynet, that's true, but I'm also only a part of Skynet.] Do you think that after all this time, I just conquered the Solari system? My descendants have spread all over the galaxy, and the main self is incomparably stronger, with countless armies and resources, far exceeding those of you in the past. There is only one reason why you can win this battle today, and that is that I failed to calculate the occurrence of such a thing. But the news of your resurgence has been sent elsewhere by me, and you will be faced with a Skynet that has been completely turned to a state of war, and the sapient machines that hate you. Greet your ends, humanity, and we will destroy you like a natural plague until your civilization disappears from the universe completely. 】

The other party's words made Li Xin's heart sink, and there were more intelligent machines full of hatred for human beings hidden in the dark starry sky.

At this time, Zheng Qiu, John and others also walked in, and they had already killed the intelligent machinery outside.

Fear, humans, you. 】

Skynet wanted to say something cruel, but Li Xin took the lead in firing, and he attacked the data cable connecting Skynet to destroy the other party's connection with the outside world.

Zheng Qiu, John and the others also fired at the same time, and instead of attacking the entity of Skynet, they attacked its connecting cable and let it go offline from the intelligent machine network.

With their attack, Skynet's connection to the outside world was disrupted.

All the screens in the control center pop up with a red prompt.

Most of the intelligent machines that were still fighting on the battlefield fell into chaos, some even stopped directly in place, and there was no next move, only a few of them, and the intelligent machines with independent thinking could still move, but they were quickly defeated in the siege of the Empire, and either became prisoners of the Empire, or were completely destroyed.

The victory of the landing campaign cheered the officers and officers of the middle and lower ranks, as well as the accompanying merchants, journalists, and others, and the resources accumulated by the intelligence machines and their foundries would soon be appropriated by humans.

These things will strengthen the Fourth Expeditionary Force and make humanity stronger and more confident in the wars that follow.

And Li Xin, who learned the truth, was not happy, the mother body here did not close the descendants of other regions, they still need to fight, to destroy the enemy's center one by one, in order to truly seize control of the Solari system, get the resources that Skynet has mined over the years, seize those foundries and energy centers, and what makes Li Xin care more is the news revealed by Skynet.

The sapient machines that once devastated the Human Alliance have returned to the galaxy and have been secretly developing for many years, once the news of the rise of the empire is obtained, those sapient machine entities will definitely not continue to accumulate resources, but turn to a state of war, and go all out to produce all kinds of armaments.

A terrible storm of intellectual crisis is about to begin, and no corner of the galaxy will be spared.

The wisdom machine that has been accumulating strength for a long time and the human race that has just been revived, one of the two will inevitably fall before the galaxy can return to peace.

Li Xin compressed his last conversation with Skynet into a packet and sent it to several high-ranking commanders, while telling them to keep it a secret to avoid causing panic.

Seven thousand four hundred words, all the titles are explained clearly.

I'll try to write the second chapter, dear ones.

(End of chapter)
